I just bought my RD250B and the person who installed the new seat cover never re-installed the trim piece:I miss it.
Does anyone have one ?

It's just referred to as "seat trim" usually. There are a few on eBay but not cheap. Not sure why the one guy has such a high shipping cost either.

The trim attachment rivets and clips are available from HVC and Yambits.

Thanks :thumbs:
How do you think HVC and Yambits parts are?
The seat-trim really makes the seat look great and I want to match it as best I can to original. The sites are both .com?
I Just read your post and haven't looked yet.
